Disaster Donations Management Program

 

To distribute a web-based technology solution to State governmentsand Private Voluntary Organization (PVOs) s in order to ensure that in the event of a disaster the State has a resource in place that it can rapidly activate to allow the general public including the private sector to make offers of donated goods, volunteer services, and financial contributions to PVOs. The expectation is that the resource will help manage the information of large numbers of offers, and help lessen the flow of donated goods and volunteer servicese into the disaster area, without any coordination.

Program is restricted to government and voluntary/nonprofit agencies described in the announcement/program guidance document. The program will: enable potential donors to offer their donations on line; PVOs to view these offers and if interested in them, to contact the donor; PVOs to express what specific disaster relief resources they may need; the potential donor to donate based on verified operational needs; and the State to oversee the process. It will greatly lessen the number of shipments of goods and services into the disaster area without any prior coordination, -- a potentially serious interference with disaster response operations. The program will enable the â₏œmatchingâ₏ of donated resources and PVO needs, thus adding value to the overall relief efforts. The program will enable government and voluntary agencies to create visibility and establish logistical tracking resources/source locations for donated items, services, and volunteers; and facilitate a match between those resources and needed assistance.
